“Inna-Gadda-Da-Vita” .. the long version lasted almost as long as the “Iron Curtain” did.
Good Luck!

Hmm. I think I've "read extensively" (on this particular subject, perhaps more than you?). I also was "living during the period." When you get testimony from Reagan-era appointees who worked on VOA who had
actual CIA data about the impact of western music (a topic we mine in depth in the film---which you haven't seen) and similar evidence from Soviet and E. German bureaucrats, not to mention statements from Gorbachev to Leslie Mandoki that rock was critical (course, can't trust him, he's a commie), then you might think twice before calling it exaggeration.
Then again, you've not read the book nor seen the film. You just "know." I think that's sort of what the "global warming" people argue---they just "know."

We’ve got an awful lot of armcahir commandos here who know nothing of what they speak...I was alive during that era and fascinated by the whole samizdat/black market movement and I remember reading over and over what our Rock N Roll were doing to win the hearts and minds of the oppressed.
I look forward to seeing this film, Larry!
See ya’,

Being familiar with many Polish acts from the 80s, I am very anxious to see this.

Thanks. We couldn’t begin to include in the film all the people we interviewed. Alice Cooper’s producer said people came up to Alice with tears in their eyes thanking him for his music that, quote, “was our lifeline” during the 1980s. Very, very few of these people knew much-—if anything-—about Reagan or Thatcher or even the Pope, but they heard music through short waves, through Radio Free Europe and VOA, and through a massive underground smuggling culture.

Excellent! Rock on!
I was stationed in Augsburg, Germany when Pink Floyd played at the Berlin Wall.

LOL. Floyd would have had them all mellowed out and thinking their Kalashnikovs were giant flower-pods.

I saw LS on C-SPAN recently addressing the Eagle Forum. He did a great job. Looks like a great film.

Thanks. They didn’t give me much time and I forgot my “stick” with my images, so I had to wing it!

Well, if that was winging it you wang it masterfully. “Wang” is the past tense of “wing”, I suppose. :)
